THE LABOR QUESTION.
Cardinal Gibbons Investigates the
French Catholic Clubs,

tCopuight 1887 by James Gordon Bennett
PARIS, May o. New York Herald Cable
Special to the BEE. l-Cardinai Gibbons Is
still hard at work at the labor question.
Since his return from Rome the cardinal
has taken great interest in the Catholic work
ingmen's clubs started some years ago by the
Comte Albert dc Nun and Monsignetur
Freppel, bishop of Anglers, which is Glib
bons' ideal of what he would like to see es-
tablished in the United States. There are
now over 500 of these clubs in France. The
one at st. Anglers, for instance, has 2, 900
members. All the trades are represented in
each club. The bosses rs well
as the workmen belong to them. The clu bs
are under the general supervision OF the
ecclesiastical autorities of the town where sit
uated. The questions of wages and the
number of hours for days work are dis
cussed in the most friendly manner. The
members buy food, clothing and medicines,
and obtain medical attention for themselves
on the principles of cooperative stores.
These clubs avoid athestic proclivites and
anarchist instincts. The Partisan workmen
have not made as much hcadway in
the capital as In the provinces. where they are
becoming more and more popular and doing
q good deal of good Yesterday at the
factory of Vades Bois, near Reims, belong
ing to the Messrs. Harmell, where the clubs
still swing Cardinal Gibbons, who was ac-
companied by the Comte de Mum, was pre-
scnted by Cardinal Langenieux to several
thousand workmen, who gave Gibbons per-
feet ovation and cheered him with eager en-
thusiasm. Gibbons made no speech, but sim
ply bowed his thanks. Afterwards elaborate
reports were drawn up by the w0rkingmen's
committee upon the question connected with
| the economical details of the factory. The
| cardinal went through the work shops. lie

ecutive session this morning prior to the
resumption of the examination of witnesses
in the Union Il Pacific railway investigation,
at which, newspaper men were Informed,
nothing was done.
In the Union Pacific inquiry James M.
Ham, treasurer of the Kansas Pacific up to
1850, testified. Judge Dillon asked If the
securities accepted By the Kansas Pacific for
Denver stock proved profitable. Ham re-
piled that every one of them yielded an
income, Almon Goodwin the lawyer who
conducted the suit to take tho Denver Pacific
stock out of the mortgage trust in $780, testi-
fed that he was employed by Sage and
Gould and urged to proceed as speedily as
possible. Sage instructed him that the Kan
sas Pacific asked to have the stock released.
He and Gould were trustees, however, and
desired to have it ascertained if they had any
mant to do 1t unless 1t was for the best in
terests of the stock and bondholders of the
Kansas Pacific. Witness consulted his part
ner They examined the matter and concluded
1t was all right. Goodwin remembered that
he cross examined Sidney Dillon and that
Dillon testified that this stock was valueless
and could be made worth S3,OO0,OOO If certain
things happened.

read letters from the Union Pacific offering
him q very small price for certain income

NEW HAVEN,s BALL TEAM

Now Thought to be an Assured Thin
 The Stock Being Taken Up and
 Players Already i'm V1eW-A Meeting
 to Complete Arrangements, Fence the
 Grounds and Erect a Stand.
 The meeting of the New Haven stockhold- CTS of the proposed new local base ball nine will be held in Freedman's building next Wednesday evening to perfect arrangements and elect officers. At last ball nine seems to be an assured thing. The stock subscrip- tion list has had many signers and the scof- fers at the scheme are proving in the minori- ty. The prospects of good base ball locally are exceedingly good and everyone is wishing the scheme all kinds of success. Manager Don nelly is pushing the matter and we'll known ball player says that he knows the players whom Manager Donaelly had in view. They can be secured, too, he thinks, and he said if Donnelly was successful in signing half of them he would have team that would be able to give any nine in the league rub. At the Wednesday evening meeting committees appointed for the purpose of fencing in the new grounds and for making arrangements for 8 band stand, etc. It is confidently ex- pected that there will not be share of stock unsold by Wednesday.
 It has been suggested that soane t"o oI three of the stockholders erect the grand stand at their own expense and take all the receipts until enough shall have been taken in to reimburse them for the money expend- ed, and that they then give the stand to the club. This has been done in large number of other cities, and the scheme has worked well wherever tried.
 By another week, in all probability, the New Haven nine will be practicing on the club grounds and New Haven people will have an opportunity to see what sort of work they can do in practice,
